Two people are on a train that is moving at 10 m/s north. They are walking 1 m/s south relative to the train. Relative to the ground, their motion is 9 m/s north.
Why are we able to use these motions to describe the motion relative to the ground?

If one object is moving much slower than the speed of light, its speed can be added to that of another object.
If one object is moving much slower than the speed of light, its speed can be added to that of another object.
The motion of everything in the Universe besides light can be described in this way.
The motion of everything in the Universe besides light can be described in this way.
As long as the frame of reference is stationary, all motion can be described in this way.
As long as the frame of reference is stationary, all motion can be described in this way.
The people are moving much slower than the speed of light so the ground acts as a frame of reference.

Scientists use laser range-finding to measure the distance to the moon with great accuracy. a brief laser pulse is fired at the moon, then the time interval is measured until the "echo" is seen by a telescope. a laser beam spreads out as it travels because it diffracts through a circular exit as it leaves the laser. in order for the reflected light to be bright enough to detect, the laser spot on the moon must be no more than 1.0 km in diameter. staying within this diameter is accomplished by using a special large-diameter laser. part a if λ = 540nm , what is the minimum diameter of the circular opening from which the laser beam emerges? the earth-moon distance is 384,000 km. express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Steam is generated in a boiler of a cogeneration plant at 10 mpa and 450°c at a steady rate of 5 kg/s. in normal operation, steam expands in a turbine to a pressure of 0.5 mpa and is then routed to the process heater, where it supplies the process heat. steam leaves the process heater as a saturated liquid and is pumped to the boiler pressure. in this mode, no steam passes through a condenser, which operates at 20 kpa. (a) determine the power produced in the turbine and the rate at which process heat is supplied in this mode. (b) determine the power produced in the turbine and the rate of process heat supplied if only 60 percent of the steam is routed to the process heater and the remainder is expanded to the condenser pressure. (3.32 mw; 9.69 mw; 4.25 mw; 5.82 mw)

Aball with a mass of 275 g is dropped from rest, hits the floor and rebounds upward. if the ball hits the floor with a speed of 2.40 m/s and rebounds with a speed of 1.70 m/s, determine the following. (a) magnitude of the change in the ball's momentum (let up be in the positive direction.)
